MACHlNERY FOR DEPOSITING AND DISTRIBUTING PULVERIZED METAL, &c., 0N PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 371,651, dated October 18, 1887.

Application filed February 1', 1887. Serial No. 226,783. (No model.) Patented in England June 3, 1 86, No. 7,466.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THOMAS WILD, of Leeds, in the county of York, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machinery for Depositing and Distributing Pulverized Metal, 830., on Paper, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my improvements is to evenly distribute pulverized metal, mica, and other materials over the surface of wall-papers after such paperhas been operated upon on agrounding-machine, such grounding-machine being used for laying the different colors on wall and other paper.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section, Fig. 2 a plan looking at the top, and Fig.3 a perspective \iew,ofa machine constructed in accordance with my invention.

In a suitable position with regard to the grounding machine, a portion of which is shown at a, I fix a box, I), which maybe of metal, or a combination of metal and wood, and within it any required number of fans, 0, mounted on shafts (1. These are caused to revolve for the purpose of diffusing and keeping in motion the pulverized metal, mica,and other material as it falls into such box I) from a hop per,'e. The material in the first instance is taken onto an indented roller, f, from'the hopper e, and from such rollerfit is thrown into the interior of the box I) by a revolving brush, 9. Then, by the constant operation of the fans 0 itis kept thoroughly diffused in the interior, and as the paper It passes underneath just after being grounded, colored, or tinted, (such grounding, coloring, or tinting being of a sticky nature) whatever of the material comes in contact therewith adheres to the surface, l

and, owing to a thorough diffusion of the material by the movement of the fans, it is evenly distributed over the whole surface of the paper. Various other fans may be placed in any convenient positiomas shown at i, as best suited for providing additional blast for the-thorough diffusion and equal distribution of the pulverized material.

The wings a of the fans 0, used in the interior of box I), are divided into a number of parts and are made to intersect each other, as shown, so as to prevent an accumulation of the pulverized material from accumulating about various surfaces.

In order to prevent accumulated material on the sides of the interior of the box I) from dropping onto the paper it operated upon, I fix a trough, 70, round the bottom-of such boxb to catch such accumulations as they fall from the sides. I employ the cover l for closing up the upper portion of the box 11 and thus preventing the material from escaping. The fans 0 and z, roller f, and brush 9 are actuated by some suitable motor.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination of fans a and 1, box I), hopper e, indented rollerf, and brush g, for depositing and distributing pulverized metal, mica, and other materials onto the paper h, such paper having been prepared for the same.

2. The combination, with the box I), of trough k, for receiving accumulated material as it falls from the sides of the interior of the box b.
